D Sharp Phrygian Positions On The Guitar Fretboard

D SHARP PHRYGIAN MODE

‘D sharp phrygian’ is the 3rd mode of the B major. The notes in D Phrygian are:

D# – E – F# – G# – A# – B – C#

If you have read the post on understanding the phrygian mode, you will know that the phrygian mode contains a ‘flat 2’, a ‘flat 3’, a ‘flat 6’ and a ‘flat 7’ (parallel approach). You will also know that it is the 3rd mode of a major scale (derivative approach). Let’s briefly look at how to construct D# Phrygian using both the parallel approach and the derivative approach.
